Experiencing Dewey: Insights for Today's Classrooms

Second Edition

Welcome to our site. We are using this space to organize new and revised contributions to our book! We hope that you will consider making a contribution to the new volume.

Here are few highlights regarding the changes we're making:

We are revising the sections to reflect the changes in schools since 2005
We are adding a new section on accountability.
We are adding a teaching resource as a separate volume that will provide instructional support and activities to help instructors use the book more effectively, particularly in undergraduate classrooms.

Former Contributors:

You may indicate on the pages linked below whether you wish to keep your entry or whether you wish to revise the same entry by putting a notation by your name. Please email us through this site or at dadairbreault@gmail.com to confirm your choice, and we will respond with a confirmation.

We are trying to limit each section to no more than ten reflections (15 for Democratic Citizenship), so please keep that in mind while making your selection. We have the number of entries available for each section listed in pink on the section's page.

3. Please be mindful of the wide range of audiences and try to make it accessible for undergraduate students but also rich enough to encourage dialogue among graduate students.
4. If your reflection is more personal (your past experience, etc.), please make sure that it's ultimate focus in on something related to schools and/or society to help readers make clear connections between your experiences and the key ideas from the passage and its context within the larger body of Dewey's work.
